Phaedrus' Identity and Discussion of Understandings

In the beginning of chapter 6, the narrator keeps making it seem as if Phaedrus was a ghost. By stating that Phaedrus was not buried correctly, it makes one think that his soul or something possessed the ability to come back to life as a ghost. However, later on, it's almost inferred that Phaedrus is actually part of the narrator. When he says that he is in a hospital and feels like he woke up from a dream instead of having a hangover, you can tell that something out of the ordinary was taking place. Then, when the doctors exclaim that he has a new personality, it was almost obvious. Although the narrator doesn't state it directly, you can tell or at least assume that the narrator has multiple personality disorder and that Phaedrus is his other personality, his other half. He says that knows who Phaedrus is, but has never met him, which makes sense if he does have this disorder. So far, this weeks reading was very interesting and I really want to see where it's going to end up. 

Another interesting aspect was the discussion of romantic unrstanding and classical understanding. Although the narrator says that these two forms are completely different and seperate from one another, I believe that they Caen be interrelated in one way or another. For example, you might think a certain subject is dull, like the narrator exclaims,and therefore be considered a romantic. However, another subject in which you need to understand the underlying form interests you, and you can be considered classic.  I thought the description of the motorcycle parts was boring and not intriguing, but I'm not sure if that would classify me as a romantic.
